Your opinion, although I have studied Biblical Hermeneutics and I recommend you do the same, start with Milton S Terry’s (Biblical Hermeneutics)

By the way Hermeneutics is the study of words.

Then, Irving L Jensen has a book Independent Bible Study a much easier read. Or you could also just watch the Video Herman Who.

So I respectfully disagree with you, I understand it very well! I also refer to the Hebrew Greek and Aramaic texts as well for additional word clarification.

And you believe in Calvinism, a religion based on the Bible named after a man...I believe in the Bible Named after God hence God's Word..

Did not insult you just curious how much of the Bible do you actually understand?

If you are curious about evolution...read about it..
I don't believe in evolution!


Ok I thought I corrected you on this yesterday, Calvinism is a Theology not a religion. It's what all Baptist and Presbyterians believe and a lot of others as well.

I think you really need to talk to your dad about all this stuff and then get back to me, after he explains it to you. Or do some further reading on your own.

Read the Westminster Confession of faith or spend some time on this site or Monergism which means:
http://www.monergism.com/

In its simplest form monergism states that salvation is all from God, as opposed to synergism, which, in its simplest form, insists that God performs some action(s) leaving salvation incomplete until man performs some action(s) to complete salvation. According to monergism, a sinner is given pardon for sin by the death of Jesus, acceptance with God by the imputed righteousness of Jesus, and faith in Jesus by the Holy Spirit. Sanctification then begins either instantaneously according to some, or as an ongoing progressive process according to others. But to remain consistent to monergism, justification must be entirely of God.

I think we believe a lot of the same things I am just throwing to much new information at you at one time and it’s too much to process.

By the way if you looked at the Sola's
You would have seen Sola Scriptura translated Scripture alone.
Which means Scriupture is the authoritive word of God! Not man!
I appall man centered religion, relativism, and post modernism!

Where I assume we differ is whether the Baptism of the Holy Spirit in ACTS and those gifts are still obtainable today or if they were just for that time as to build the faith and the church.

I don’t believe in Evolution either, it’s absurd which was my whole point! It’s a theory that has been proven false, time and time again so it just evolves into a modified version, each time science shows how wrong it is.

One scientist said he knows its false, but for him to espouse that, it only leaves him with one other option a creator and its easier for him to embrace a falsehood than to except that.

So I havent a clue, as to why you think I cant understand the Bible, and seriuosly though, not to be snarky, but sit down with Dad or someone with some eduction that can explain this stuff to you, or spend a lot of time reading yourself. Listen to what 2A, Italionscallion, or starman have to say. I believe two of them are pentecostal like yourself, but our escential doctrine is always in agreement!
